Humidifer water
Humidifer water
I'm going on vacation and am staying overnight at the airport after a late flight picking up the car in the morning. Getting distilled water might be hard without a car. Would purified bottled water work and how much do I need. A liter?

Re: Humidifer water
My RT said to use bottled water in a pinch so it should be fine for occasional use . As far as amount just fill up your humidifier and then measure how much you used.

Re: Humidifer water
Just use tap water, the *ONLY* real reason to use distilled water is to avoid having mineral deposits build up in the tank, which is easily remedied with a little vinegar soak.

Re: Humidifer water
Other bottled waters can be more problematic than plain tap water... better to not bother with them.

Re: Humidifer water
And the Airsense tanks only hold about 14 ounces.
About 2 cups, minus a small drinky so you don't go to bed thirsty.

Re: Humidifer water
Yes I'm aware that some bottled water adds minerals for taste. I personally don't like drinking those the taste is off..give me just standard purifed water.Julie wrote:Other bottled waters can be more problematic than plain tap water... better to not bother with them.

Re: Humidifer water
Agree. And buildup is minimized if you do not let it go dry. Make sure their is excess water so you can dump the concentrate (and rinse) in the morning.palerider wrote:Just use tap water, the *ONLY* real reason to use distilled water is to avoid having mineral deposits build up in the tank, which is easily remedied with a little vinegar soak.

Re: Humidifer water
With tap water you may notice the odor of the chlorine(Cl) that is added to municipal water supplies. The smell goes away a while after you turn on the PAP. If you have the time fill the chamber and let it sit for a time and the Cl will dissipate.

Re: Humidifer water
Walgreens distilled water is labeled DISTILLED....if it is not labeled that way, it is NOT DISTILLED. For a few nights it really doesn't matter. Just clean the tub when you get back.Jerseyguy wrote:Has anyone used Walgreens Nice brand purified water it doesn't mention anything about adding minerals and might actually be distilled??

Re: Humidifer water
Ok will do. I'm just the kind of person who if I clean it with vinegar, ill probably end up smelling it even if its not there. I'm packing distilled water in my suitcase in a sturdy water bottle and hoping for the best.LSAT wrote:Walgreens distilled water is labeled DISTILLED....if it is not labeled that way, it is NOT DISTILLED.

Re: Humidifer water
I rarely clean my humidifier tub...maybe every 3- 6 months. When I do, I use dishwashing detergent.Jerseyguy wrote:Ok will do.

If all else fails, there's always vodka.
